TRT vs HRT.....what is the difference?

[SlimmerMe]

HRT and TRT:
Seems the 2 are interchangeable...so curious what, if any, difference..thanks!

( edit: for males, that is...)

[warchild]

trt=test replacement
hrt=can be either estrogen or test

[SlimmerMe]

trt=test replacement
hrt=can be either estrogen or test

thanks..I meant to put for males.....is there a difference in the 2?

hrt can be trt. trt is just a more specific description of a therapy. hrt is more commonly used to describe any hormone replacement therapy for women.

Thanks...just seems that on this forum which is male dominant, TRT and HRT seem to be one in the same. So that is why I ask. I am thinking....perhaps TRT might be a stronger dose? just wondering....

Slimmer, as stated, TRT is exclusive to testosterone only. HRT covers a range of different hormones, and applies to both men and women. In my case, I take testosterone, pregnenolone, & have even been prescribed topical DHEA. Also looking HGH going into next year, so the objective is to balance out a multi-range of hormones not just testosterone.

thanks Vette....so TRT is just test....and HRT includes test and and all of the rest!....got it.

yes HRT is a general term, H stands for Hormone, so the hormone could be anything, it could even be testosterone! because testosterone is a hormone.
